He said the state needed about 120 Hilux vans, as well as 30 Armoured Personnel Carriers, which would be positioned in strategic areas in the state in order to effectively secure the state from armed robbers.He said, "We must do the needful and we all know that security is important for any meaningful development to take place. Our goal of industrialising the state cannot be realised in an atmosphere of insecurity. We have to win this battle and we will win it."Amosun solicited the cooperation of the people in exposing the hideouts of criminals, whom he described as ordinary mortals and not ghosts.The governor also visited the family of Alhaji Kareem Amusa, a member of the vigilante service, who was killed by the bandits.
